First of all, i'd like to thank anyone helping here, so thanks!

And now, for my own pesonnal problems with the root:

after hours of going through this thread and many guides around the internet here are the things i learned:

1. i installed the drivers in the 10 seconds time gap the device gave me while in the fastboot screen (thanks to someone here on the thread!)

2. i discovered the command is not "fastboot oem unlock" anymore, it's now "fastboot flashing unlock"

But after all this, when using the command "fastboot flashing unlock" (which is now recognized) i get an error saying: "FAILED (remote: can not get partition size)"

and that's where i got stuck. i found no solution to this online...

does anyone here know of a solution? i really need to get that device rooted, it's my device for testing applications and i can't get to the data dir...

Hello my nerds,i've just found a metod to downgrade the firmware to ...45 n° so we can unblock the bootloader,and flash boot.img

I will write a guide later on a new thread if someone interesting

For now if u want to try(only expert nerds) download this file extract him,go in fastboot mode,and doule click on flashall_fastboot-no_wipe.cmd command will find it inside the rar file,and wait until finish to flash all the partitions and then reboot again on fastboot mode,unlock boot loader ( fastboot oem unlock fastboot oem unlock confirm ) and flash the boot img ( fastboot boot "C:\path of boot img\boot.img) and voilà u got su binary on sbin path

boot.img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shaythan:
the command "fastboot oem unlock" is no longer the right command

the new one is "fastboot flashing unlock" (also the fastboot oem unlock confirm is now a different one, don't remember it though, try searching google)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alby21europa:
Thank you for the job,but unusable for me this solution because have a Zenpad C 7.0 (Z170C)version with only wifi....:(in this downloadable zip have all tools for C 7.0 (Z170CG)version with 3G/2G....... :rolleyes:........

[Miscellaneous Android Development] panzerchreckfr:
Hello,

I had same problem as seen before with new firmwares (like FAILED (remote: can not get partition size)) and i test this method.

The first part went perfectly and i rebooted again in fastbootmode, unlocked the boot loader, flashing the img with the one provided.

Now i am on the "ASUS in search of incredible" screen, loading forever. And using power + volume down buttons don't let me going to factory reset, so i don't know what to do.

I'm on the _CG version.

Thank you,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] J.Paul:
Model?wifi only?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] panzerchreckfr:
No, the cellular one.

I forgot something.

I first used the boot IMG provided in the first post, it booted and worked but Google Apps got several problems and closed all the time. So i went bast to fastboot status and used the boot IMG provided in your post.

Driver Help

I am wondering where I can find the correct driver to manually install it. I am also stuck at the green screen with the device connecting and disconnecting. The device manager is showing as "Unknown device" when it connects and the details show this value: USB\VID_8087&PID_0912\F7NPFX099378. Not sure what I need to do.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] panzerchreckfr:
Check your PM for logcat link.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] panzerchreckfr:
I finally solved my problem by turning directly into adb mode after reboot (not easy, it does not work all the time).

I flashed using your flashall-fastboot-no-wipe.cmd.

So i'm going back to start : the device, just after the first login, download a firmware update. Do we have to launch it ? It says it improves overall reactivity of the device, it is efficient ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KALSHEBIKALIM:
Right click on the device in device manager click Update driver software -> Browse my computer -> Let me pick..

Hello good evening...i'm a new member to this forum but, i've been following this thread for months now and like previous members I have also tried various methods mentioned in this thread and elsewhere but still can't obtain root access on my Zenpad PO1Z....tried all the different images and various apps which claimed to give root access without success.... I contacted Asus here in the UK and got the following e-mail response from them today......i'm now inclined to give up and buy a different model of tablet/phone.....anybody like to comment please.....regards...Colin
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lowerland:
Same here still searching for the correct driver to use, while the device is in the fastboot mode.

i tried a couple manual driver installs.. but everytime i get this error:

C:\Users\Root>fastboot oem unlock...

FAILED (remote: UNKNOWN COMMAND!)

finished. total time: 0.000s

C:\Users\Root>

In the hardware manager this is its hardware-id: USB\VID_8087&PID_0912&REV_0100

So what is the correct driver to use here? anyone? :cowboy:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] madria:
Wow... Nice research dude...

but unfortunately, the fastboot oem unlock didn't work on my device

I googled, and find out that the new command is fastboot flashing unlock

well, it didn't work either

i guess it's because the new firmware preventing from unlocking the oem

so, what should i do? downgrade the firmware? how? i downloaded the previous version of the firmware, and stuck on how i should do the downgrade process..

cheers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maxjamsim:
I tried this process last night....I used the volume key/power button to get into the boot menu,did a factory reset.and then tried to load firmware version UL-P01Z-WW-12.26.4.9-user from an SD card this was the oldest version on the asus UK support site but no luck.....I found this method from a 3 part Russian made youtube video....I would agree with you that the newer firmwares somehow locks the bootloader preventing any upgrade....

What is the latest version of Asus firmware this root image working for?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] matt52191:
Successfully got through guide, but Root Checker says NO ROOT ACCESS

So after months of using my bricked tablet as a paperweight, I finally got it UN-bricked last night.

I decided to attempt to root it today and am not sure where I went wrong. Im still a noob so hopefully its something simple enough where one of you can point it out easily.....

I got through all the steps without any issues, until I got to the "fastboot oem unlock" steps....

But after reading through this thread, I ran the "fastboot getvar all" command and it said "unlocked: yes"

So I went ahead and ran "fastboot boot "C:\Users\USER\Desktop\root-z170c_cg.img" using the .img attachment provided by the author of this thread and it seemed to run successfully with this message:

"

downloading 'boot.img'...

(bootloader) Ready to receive: 0x0078b000 size of data

OKAY [ 0.211s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.555s]

finished. total time: 0.768s

"

It ran and finished within seconds.... the tablet rebooted successfully but never had me go through the setup. This is where things stopped working as planned....

I went ahead and continued following the guide. I downloaded "SUPERSU" and "Root Checker" from the Play Store... I ran SUPERSU, which prompted me to update the binaries, which I did successfully, and then it prompted me to reboot the device. The device rebooted successfully,

Thinking im a super bad ass Android guru (since everything went as planned....) I ran "Root Checker"..... but it failed with this message:

"

Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device.

Device: P01Z

Android Version: 5.0.2

"

I tried rebooting and verifying with Root Checker again..... no dice.

Any ideas?? Where did I go wrong?

Thanks in advance!!!

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------

I went ahead and unplugged the tablet from the USB..... and then rebooted.

Went into Root Checker again and sure enough.... I have Root Access!!! WOOOOOT!

Was the fact that I was still plugged into the USB from after running all the steps the reason???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stolleprov:
I rooted my ZenPAD Z170CG - P01Y with the latest firmware installed (WW_V12.26.4.61_20160530). I rebooted into fastboot and run the "fastboot getvar all" and it said that the bootloader was unlocked. So I run the "fastboot boot "C:\Users\{your PC user name here}\Desktop\root-z170c_cg.img" and now my device is rooted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] matt52191:
Overclocking?

Now that my device is rooted, does anyone know how to overclock the Zenpad?

I did some Google searches, and couldn't find anything specifically for the Zenpad. I did find some guides for other Asus (Android) device.... would following those guides work? Or does each Asus model have their own ways to Overclock?

For example, theres a guide for overclocking a Zenfone... would it ideally be the same steps?

Thanks!!

fastboot oem unlock & fastboot oem unlock confirm (Command not found)

Hi Guys. I have a problem when issuing the command "fastboot oem unlock" & "fast oem unlock confirm"are not working. Below is the error that I get everytime I run the command.

FAILED (remote: UNKNOWN COMMAND)

Hi guys!!! I need help to unbrick my device I have tried every firmware available on the internet to boot on my SD card but no luck. Also I tried to use custom recovery but I cannot boot the recovery image seems that my windows and linux machine unable to detect the device (ZENPAD P01Y).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] domain:
1. You have to downgrade with service flash WW_Z170CG_V12.26.4.45-user-201512111951-rawdata https://yadi.sk/d/rnYi2TLcqFVWp

using script flashall_fastboot-no_wipe.cmd (included in archive). Interrupt the rebooting with long press of Power button!

2. Press Volume UP and put USB cable to PC again. Unlock the bootloader with fastboot as described in first post

Don't reboot the deice just Power off again.

3. Upgrade to latest firmware UL-P01Y-WW-12.26.4.61-user (save the firmware to SDcard and flash with Volume Down + Power)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] troyygan:
Thank you for this but I've successfully rooted my device after I bricked it during my first try.. LOL. I had to bring it to the Asus service center for in rocking since the unbricking process did not worked for me.. I also noticed that the device bootloader was original unlocked. Do you think the steps that you provided will work for unbricking?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] domain:
Perhaps the first step will help, because the image is factory one

[Miscellaneous Android Development] troyygan:
You can try fastboot flashing unlock. If this doesnt work try flashing your rom to older versions. In my case my bootloader was originaly unlocked but I also encountered that error (unknown command). You can use asus flash tool for flashing to the older versions.

IM stuck..

Installed android Studio..Android phone appears in W7 device manager with no yellow check mark.

I "adb devices".

I get Listed devices attached.

Shows what I guess is serial number or something.

Then I "adb reboot fastboot"

I keep windows device manager open.

Tablet goes black.Device manager then reconnects to device pretty quickly.I then

have a green screen with Android dude.

Where from there??What do I do? I have rebooted but each time I try I get green screen.

On one try I got it to adb reboot fastboot command but it just kept saying waiting for device.

I hold down power button a bit and it then goes to a black battery screen then to a full green battery.Screen then goes black and just stays black.

On w7 device manger something pops up.

MTP USB devices

Udate driver

Says driver is latest.

Then I do a hardware scan and yellow icon goes away.For about 30 seconds. Rescan hardware makes it go away.

If I just leave tablet the MTP USB will keep looping fine to yellow check,

tethered recoveries

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096 is a thread on combo CWM/TWRP tethered recovery I am having to use on my Asus Memo Pad 8 181c tablet. I had started out using a CWM Tethered recovery designed by the same people under this thread.... http://xdaforums.com/android/help/asus-memo-pad-8-me181c-tethered-cwm-t3006382 , but after reloading, getting my tablet up to latest .191 WW firmware it quit working for me so found this combo one. TWRP's tethered does not work on my x86 Intel Asus tablet but the cwm still worked fine!

Maybe this could give you an advantage of flashing to get Xposed installed. My tablets still on KK 4.4.2 so flashing is not required.

Hey guys, quick update here.

Sorry for inactivity, I've been drowning in school work but I am now back with free time to work on this tablet. Currently, I am researching a way to get Xposed working on this tablet (along with a few other guys from the 4pda forums) and will hopefully come back in under a few weeks with what will hopefully be a working method. Until then, I am happy to help anyone who is undergoing issues whilst modding their tablet and hopefully over this Summer we can work together and push for a few more mods for this little tablet!

Hi,

I have bought this tablet recently and I want to root it, but I want keep bootloader lock and drm keys, does this method unlock it ?

An other question, does the .img take less memory than the stock system, and is it fully fonctionnal under android 5.0.2 ?

thanks in advance and for your work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
Yup, this method will require you to unlock the bootloader. From factory, the bootloader is locked and the only way to really root it will be to unlock the bootloader and boot off this unsigned root image file. This also applies to other android devices, where custom recoveries require the bootloader to be unlocked otherwise the system will not allow the custom recovery to be flashed to the device.

This root method still works under Android 5.0.2, so if you're looking to try it out, backup all of your apps, photos, videos, etc., and go ahead and run through the process if you're still wanting root access.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
Also, quick update on the Xposed situation. I've tried and ran through with a few methods and processes to get Xposed working on this tablet but nothing yet. So far, I've tried installing it all in one go as well as in between reboots, cache clears, and so far nothing.

I'll keep looking for a solution over the next few weeks and will post on my findings. So far, I wouldn't recommend trying to install Xposed using the Zenfone Lollipop method unless you are are an experienced user and trying to test the method out. Ive encountered numerous bootloops after trying it and so far nothing is working.

Edit: if all else fails, I'm going to have to see if it will be possible to port TWRP to the Z170C, maybe with the help of another XDA member. That would make things 10,000% easier in terms of rooting, installing Xposed and developing custom ROMs for this tablet. Just a thought, so try to not get too excited!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hp28190:
Damn it I would root access only to delete some appsde and access some files who need this.

I'm on a Z170C with android 5.0.2 running SW WW.V12.26.4.61_20160530

I've tried every suggestion on the thread on how to unlock the bootloader on this device and I cannot get any of them to work. Is there something I am missing? When I try your instructions I cannot get past the fastboot oem commands, even using the "up to date commands" fastboot flashing commands. It gives me the "FAILED (remote failure) error. I have android studio and Android SDK and platform tools. I run the commands from the SDK directory. The device bootloader is locked currently, FYI.

I've tried to flash to a previous SW in case that is the issue from Asus website but it will not let me due to the current SW being more up to date. I tried to rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip and it still failed for the same reason.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
Try running the commands from your platform-tools directory instead of your root SDK directory. If that doesn't work, check device manager to see if the tablet's fastboot and adb drivers are successfully installed. Finally, just checking, you have ADB Debugging enabled on your tablet? If not, this can be enabled from the developer mode inside Android settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] J.Paul:
For people who still have problems with root and xposed

and for xposed,download this archive extract it on root drive (C:/),connect the device to pc,and go to extracted zip and start 1: XposedInstaller.bat,and press any key to countinue,then strat 2: Xposed Framework.bat,and wait the device will restart and will make 5 min to boot just wait,after he finish the reboot instal xposed alpha

Thats all,have a great day...

Right folks.

After a bit of faffing about I have root. The only issues it had was that "Fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot oem unlock confirm" both threw up an access denied error. However the root was successful, rootchecker returned an positive response, and SuperSU installed and updated. getting SU permissions for apps is a bit slow, as it took ages for linked2SD to work properly.

The only issue I do seem to have, is that Xposed installer Displays "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot? I've done this twice without any change. not sure where to go with this from here.
